quot;In game one, we hit the ball well,quot; said WHS coach Rick Bughee. quot;We took advantage of walks and their miscues. Ackerman pitched well in picking up the win.

quot;In game two, O'Brien allowed two hits in his first varsity start. He gave me more than I could have asked for. The defense behind him played well. Both games gave me the opportunity to get everyone a lot of playing time.quot;

The Engineers look to avenge their only loss of the season on Saturday when they play at Thetford Acadmey at 11 a.m.

Lisbon 10, Gorham 7

Lisbon 12, Gorham 6

GORHAM - Lisbon swept a doubleheader from Gorham on Thursday to record its third and fourth wins of the season.

In the first game, Jeff Perham went the distance in picking up the win. quot;Perham threw strikes and made them hit the ball,quot; said LHS coach Tom White. quot;We just didn't play well defensively. It's tough to maintain your concentration when you play only one game every week. We finally started to play ball in the fifth inning.quot;

Perham helped himself at the dish as he hit a tater.

Shamus Carberry, with relief help from Dave Deming, recorded the win in the second game. G.P. Houston tallied a home run to pace the Wildcats offense.

quot;We came out quicker and tougher in the second game,quot; said White. quot;Shamus kept the ball around the plate. Deming did a good job of shutting the door on them. We've just got to get out on the field more. You just can't play one game a week and stay consistent.quot;

Lisbon (4-2) will be at Colebrook today at 4 p.m.
